After adjustment, the highest tertiles of IL-6 levels (MR = 1.54, IC = 1.13-2.10, p = 0.005), and NGAL (MR = 1.71, CI = 1.04-2.80, p = 0.032) remained associated to ECC; while TNF-α was no longer associated to ECC (MR = 1.31, CI = 0.98-1.75, p = 0.066).
Significant elevation of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α with optimum sensitivity and specificity might imply their involvement as potential non-invasive diagnostic/prognostic markers in ECC.
In the crude analyses, the highest tertiles of IL-6 (MR = 1.47, IC = 1.09-2.00, p = 0.012), TNF-α (MR = 1.33, CI = 1.00-1.78, p = 0.040) and NGAL (MR = 2.20, CI = 1.39-3.49, p = 0.001) were associated to ECC.

Moreover, secreted aspartic protease (Sap) activity and SAP1-5 transcriptional levels were compared in the ECC and caries-free (CF) groups of Uygur children.

Twenty-two children with severe early childhood caries aged 3-6 years were treated with toluoidine blue O (TBO) for 1min and irradiated by a Light Emitting Diode (LED; FotoSan, CMS Dental, Denmark) with the exposure time of 150s.
The present study aimed to evaluate the association of polymorphisms in genes MTR (rs1805087) and MTRR (rs1801394) with susceptibility of early childhood caries (ECC) and with body mass index alterations.
This study assessed cost-effectiveness of the atraumatic restorative treatment-based (ART-based) approach against the standard care (SC) approach to managing early childhood caries in a primary care setting based on a 1-year pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

This study aimed to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in MMP2, MMP3, MMP9, MMP20, TIMP1, and TIMP2 with white spot lesions (WSL) and early childhood caries (ECC).
